What you need to know when terminating a foreign employee

Dismissing an employee is never an easy choice. When the employee is a foreign national, there are extra complexities and repercussions that need careful consideration. Employers must make sure they adhere to both state and federal regulations. Before proceeding with such a decision, it's advisable for an employer to seek guidance from both an immigration attorney and an employment attorney.

American Immigration Lawyers Association has prepared a helpful flyer explaining employers’ considerations when terminating foreign workers.
